12:40 am
becoming more chaotic and committingth atrocities.o the but that is because we have done nothing. if we come to the site of helping the millions, their onlp tens of thousands and al qaeda.c we will help defeat the ultimate source of the radicalization, sod.h is bashar al-assad. remember that hezbollah, those are my conservative side tow qa believe that doing nothing will allow al qaeda to guide. al qaeda is thriving. has was driving. terror will thrive without our involvement. the question is which side has less problems. melissa: thank you for your your thoughts. we appreciate it.tact
